<div class="gmail_quote"><div>There are lots of configuration management agents already out there (chef? puppet? salt? ansible? ... the list is pretty long these days...) which you can bake into the images that you deploy with Ironic, but I'd like to be clear that, in my opinion, Ironic's responsibility ends where the host OS begins. Ironic is a bare metal provisioning service, not a configuration management service.</div>

The only difference here is that you (and tripleo) are the deployer *and* the user of Ironic; that's a special case, but not the only use case which Ironic is servicing.</div>
